Mechanics Mostly Finished Hi Everyone, Just wanted to share a photo of my RepStrap progress (and my messy workbench). I'm mostly done with the mechanical aspects. There is still some tweaking to do, but now I will switch focus to getting the electronics going. I have to say, if I were doing it again, I probably wouldn't go this way for a bootstrap machine. I think I'd start with a Contraptor (http://www.contraptor.org/ ) and modify that for this purpose. Since I'm behind on the schedule I had set for myself, I had decided to buy an extrusion toolhead. But Makerbot has been out ever since I've been looking to buy one. So, I'm going to post a message in the classifieds portion, but I'm also going to figure out how to build it myself, I guess. Thank you, everyone, for all the information available and the encouragement. https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,40048,40048#msg-40048 Tue, 21 Jul 2026 09:47:34 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,40048,41962#msg-41962 Re: Mechanics Mostly Finished https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,40048,41962#msg-41962
It's pretty much a standard build... just done with less precision or skill. :)]]> NLightNMe Reprappers Tue, 06 Apr 2010 23:33:45 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,40048,41957#msg-41957 Re: Mechanics Mostly Finished https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,40048,41957#msg-41957 spacexula Reprappers Tue, 06 Apr 2010 21:05:15 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,40048,41822#msg-41822 Re: Mechanics Mostly Finished https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,40048,41822#msg-41822
